Investigation of the immunity of computer equipment to the power-line electromagnetic interference

Abstract

An experimental setup for investigating the immunity of computer equipment to the power-line electromagnetic interference has been developed. The results of quantitative investigations of the performance of the computer equipment subjected to the action of nanosecond and microsecond electromagnetic pulses propagated through the power line as well as the results of investigations of the efficiency of external devices for protecting the computer equipment from the action of electromagnetic pulses propagated through the power line are presented.
